    An excellent glossary. Thank you for this learning resources.

  • I had the opportunity to hold it, see how it work in the lab but I never use it to sequence anything yet. Hopefully, I will start using it soon for a research that I am involved as co-researcher.

  • I used Illumina sequencing machine HiSeq 6000 during my PhD to sequence cancer for Transcriptome and WGS studies.

    I found Illumina to be a way more friendly and amazing technology that changed my perception about sequencing. I was really excited and was so passionate about sequencing technology which probably why I couldn’t find it so hard to learn to...
